More Information
This 3-part workshop series is designed for singers interested in
developing the vocal consistency necessary to effortlessly sing
and interpret songs. Students are encouraged to take all three
workshops to absorb the techniques in these fun and interactive
classes, but may also sign up for one or two of the meetings.
Week Three — Points of Departure
In order to interpret vocal jazz repertoire with freedom and musicality, the jazz singer
needs to have a solid grasp of certain grounding skills:
• a good sense of rhythm and groove
• a basic knowledge of chords — how they sound and how they move
• a great sense of pitch
In this workshop, students focus on “physicalizing” time and groove in order to internalize
them. Class explores 7th chords, how to sing them, hear them and follow them
as they move in order to interpret jazz repertoire in relation to the chord progression.
Additionally, students are introduced to fun applied ear training exercises. |
